United Nations sanctions

United Nations sanctions are measures imposed by the UN to encourage a country or group to comply with international law or to change harmful behavior. These sanctions can include restrictions on trade, diplomatic relations, and financial transactions. Common reasons for sanctions are to address issues like human rights violations, nuclear proliferation, or aggression against another country. The goal is to apply pressure without resorting to military action, promoting peace and security in a way that encourages dialogue and negotiation. Sanctions are typically lifted once the targeted behavior changes or the situation improves.
